Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a compact upright rosette of light green leaves. The root vegetables have a smooth surface and firm skin, with their weight ranging from 0.4 to 1.5 kg. The root system is moderately developed and predominantly concentrated in the lower part of the fruit, which simplifies the cleaning process.

The variety is distinguished by a high dry matter content and is resistant to Septoria, mosaic virus, and Phoma rot during storage. It possesses pronounced resistance to bolting, cracking, and mechanical damage; it is suitable for long-term storage, processing, and mechanized harvesting. The recommended planting density is 7–8 plants per 1 m².
